time to think like a child

You: So what do you want for your birthday?

Me: I want to go sky diving.

You: Seriously?

Me: Yep.

You: Ok.

You worked so hard all week to meet your deadline for that week so you could take the day off work to be with me. We drove down, I spent most of the morning distracting myself - I knew if my brain kicked into gear and started thinking about all the possibilities it would suck all the joy out of the experience.

So I decided to approach the matter like a child, with wide eyed excitement at the adventure that awaited and no comprehension or awareness of the potential danger.

There are times in life when thinking like a child pays dividends - and this was one of those times.
